MY PORTFOLIO

The Bed Bath & Beyond Mexico site is an informational site for Bed Bath's new
initiative into Mexico. We were responsible for all front end development, using
HTML5/CSS3, PHP and jQuery, as well legacy application integration and skinning.

We have worked with Imaginary Office to develop a
website whose objective is to function as a hub for the cool roofs movement.
The site includes a searchable knowledge base, a cool roofs primer and implementation guide.
Visit the site at: www.coolrooftoolkit.org

Disease InfoSearch provides information about diseases and their related support and advocacy networks.
It began as a feature of Genetic Alliance's website, and this expansion improves both navigation and the
number of information sources included. The site's goal is to serve as a credible resource for people to
learn more about the signs and symptoms of conditions, the latest research, and how to access support.

I was responsible for developing the SOAP web service from which the site
retrieves all of its data, designing the underlying data structures,
as well as front end integration including CSS/HTML/JS.
The DIS site is built on top of the YII MVC framework.

Genetic Alliance Portal

The Genetic Alliance Portal acts as the central command for the Genetic Alliance network of sites,
including Disease InfoSearch. All administrative tasks are done through the portal interface,
including user management and data creation.

The Kitchen Archives

We developed an archive website for The Kitchen,
an experimental arts organization whose performance space has
introduced the public to avant-garde artforms since the 1970s -
including music, dance, film, video, and performance art.
The Kitchen is digitizing over 10,000 archival videos and print
ephemera that will be available on this site, including early
performances by the Talking Heads, Philip Glass and Laurie Anderson.
The database uses tagging, indexing, and social media to encourage visitors to browse, discover, and share content.

Services and technology provided: PSD to HTML/CSS/JS, Wordpress theme development using custom taxonomies and custom fields

Bid on the City - bidonthecity.com

BidOnTheCity is a unique real estate auction platform, one that allows on-site and online bidders to simultaneously participate
in live auction events. In addition to a dynamic end-user site, including an AJAX driven real-time auction interface, a full back end management
site was also developed. 5D Studios was responsible for all information architecture and data driven programming for the site.

LessonWriter, Inc., founded in 2008 by educators and programmers to improve education,
is the only service that automatically creates personalized print, web, and mobile-ready
literacy lessons. LessonWriter creates opportunities to teach reading wherever
comprehension matters - in every class and in every subject.

LessonWriter utilizes advanced custom technology, including a proprietary
English language parser and dictionary. We utilized SQL Server to handle the massive amounts of
data being tracked with each lesson created.

Technology used: ASP.Net MVC 4, SQL Server, HTML5, CSS, jQuery, AJAX

Mesmerize Marketing

Mesmerize Marketing wanted a clean and elegant website that
reflects their modern high-tech approach to content delivery. All website content
is user editable through a Wordpress backend.

Center for Advanced Information Management - Columbia University

The CAIM project was a rebuild of their existing Flash website, using valid HTML/CSS and a
Wordpress backend for content management, while also retaining some of the dynamic elements
of their Flash site, this time using jQuery, such as the moving nav bar.

Malta House

NewTalk.org

NewTalk presents focused discussions by experts on the most important domestic topics
shaping American society today. We bring together experts in theory, policy and
practice - from academics and lawmakers to admired practitioners - to share their diverse
perspectives on pressing domestic issues.

NYC Teaching Fellows - Learning Management System

This project was for the development of a Learning Management System for the The New York City Teaching Fellows. The system allows
teachers to design online course training and testing materials for the Fellow applicant trainees to use outside of the classroom. It allows
the teachers to create assessments for the course material with multiple question types - true/false, multiple-choice, fill in the blank,
matrix, or essay. The teachers get access to realtime detailed reports of each students progress, and also statistics on the overall performance
on any assessment.

The system was built into the existing NYC Teaching Fellows application framework, using ASP, SQL Server, AJAX and CSS.

Mesmerize Marketing Reuters News XML Feed Processing

Mesmerize Marketing subscribes to the Reuters news feed, which continuosly streams XML content to the server. 5D Studios developed
a solution which parsed the XML content and inserts it into a SQL Server database, at which point, a Mesmerize employee can log into
the backend system and choose and edit which news items to publish for the day. The news title, content and image are then dynamically
placed and sized into an existing template, which can then be downloaded as a PNG file, to be distributed into their network.

Konrad Fiedler Photography

Konrad Fiedler, photo editor of the New York Sun, wanted a photography portfolio site
that is clean and simple, easy to use, while still being cheap to maintain and easy to update. We designed a one-page
site that loads all the content into one place, requiring the least amount of clicks possible for the user to navigate
the site. All of the images are hosted by Flickr, and pulled into the site using the Flickr API, allowing Konrad to
upload and edit his image sets using Flickr's existing tools, saving him development time and hosting costs.
